Destination: Nepal
Season: Spring

Mt Manaslu Expedition (8,163m)Some of the other operators have as many as twenty climbers on one expedition and we feel a smaller team makes for a more intimate and satisfying experience for a climber on Manaslu. The single leader and expedition manager offers similar expertise as a fully guided climb with a 4:1 climber to guide ratio but allows climbers more flexibility traveling in smaller groups lower on the mountain.

Leadership: Himalayan veteran guide Pemba Sherpa who has multiple summits on Manaslu will once again lead the 2013 expedition and this will be his sixth Manaslu expedition. In addition to an experienced leader the team’s head climbing Sherpa Sirdar will be AC Sherpa who was the Sherpa responsible and leadership. AC has vast experience being a Sirdar on Manaslu and will be directing our climbing Sherpas who have all summited Manaslu before, some multiple times and their knowledge of the mountain is unrivaled.

Base Camp: Our base camp is as luxurious, if not more so than some of the other more expensive operators and the food prepared by our highly experienced cooks is considered some of the best available in the Himalayas. Each climber is provided with a personal Mountain Hardwear 3-person tent at base camp, which is insulated with a foam floor covering and complimented with an extra thick foam mattress. For group occasions we provide a Mountain Hardwear dome both for dining and another as our recreation dome. The dining dome has large padded chairs and is spacious, carpeted, heated and lit by solar electricity. Our recreation dome has the same facilities as our dining dome but with the addition of computers and satellite internet modems, satellite phones, a wet bar and library with comfortable seating.
